is part of a dispute over staffing and the role of conductors. an lead the author i will speak to the author scarlett thomas about her switch to writing for children and the creation of a fictional world full of magic and danger. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are the broadcasters penny smith and charlie wolf. good evening to you both. before we speak to them, let's have a look at some of those front pages, starting with boris johnson's some of those front pages, starting with borisjohnson‘s decision to cancel his trip to russia, that the lead in many of the papers. the mail on sunday says the kremlin has "slammed" mrjohnson for cancelling his visit. the sunday times says britain and america will directly accuse russia of complicity in war crimes in syria.
10:32 pm
the sunday telegraph says the foreign secretary's cancelled trip —but the picture that dominates the front page shows the owners of the grand national winner, one for arthur. and the independent has it's own interview with the eu's chief brexit negotiator who wants theresa may to consider a plan to help british people who want to retain eu citizenship. so let us begin. penny, would you start us off? newspapers full of the stories about syria. the sunday times, russia accused of complicity in syria war crime and boris is not going to russia. complains of russian complicity, a russian drones flew over a town before one of the warplanes dropped that gas bomb which killed around 80 people if a russian aircraft bombed a hospital
10:33 pm
later to destroy evidence. a picture ofa later to destroy evidence. a picture of a chemical weapons container from where the attack was launched. russia accused of complicity in syrian war crime and boris johnson... the us did borisjohnson because of his notorious florida language. tim farron also coming in saying the foreign secretary is a poodle of washington, echoing the comment on tony blair, was having his diary managed across the pond and think it's pretty shameful when even trump judges you to be a buffoon. 0k. charlie, what can we talk a moment, that is going to happen, rex tillerson the secretary of state, he is going to have to end up of state, he is going to have to end up going to moscow. the talk in the
10:34 pm
la st up going to moscow. the talk in the last couple of days is if the russians would refuse to have him over. that's not the case, he is going over. he has a serious message. i don't think borisjohnson isa message. i don't think borisjohnson is a poodle, i didn't think tony blairwas, to be is a poodle, i didn't think tony blair was, to be honest. is a poodle, i didn't think tony blairwas, to be honest. i is a poodle, i didn't think tony blair was, to be honest. ithink it's important in a situation like this, maybe they need to be co—ordinated and have one man do all the talking. the country that is taking the action, the united states, it seems it's only right its rex tillerson that does the speaking. you are often in a position to explain donald trump. it looks like a massive flip—flop in his approach to syria. what do you make of it? i think this is called leadership. yes, he had a position that was noninterventionist, i don't wa nt that was noninterventionist, i don't want to be the world's policeman and so on. want to be the world's policeman and so on. when you sit in the chair... a couple of times a significant, the
10:35 pm
first time when you get the first briefing when you've been elected and you are the president—elect and you get the first cia nsa briefing, that's a pretty heavy duty meeting. then you sit in the chair for the first time on the 20th ofjanuary. you are sitting there and you realise, this is in the national interests of the united states, and national security issue. the point is... they have this tweets in the daily mail. we should stay the hell out of syria, the rebels are just as bad as the current regime. if are going to continue to be stupid and going to continue to be stupid and going to continue to be stupid and going to syria... whatsapp and now though is they've had an event and he's been sat down with his advisers and they are the one saying, if they get away with using chemical weapons here, they will use them elsewhere and produced within the united states. this is some other as to be held to account and that's what he's done. moving on, it got a mention
10:36 pm
before but let's pick this up, this business about boris', boris johnson's role in all of this. it is a bit curious. 0n the one hand i think you are saying he's a serious player and so on, but it does look as though people said, come on, whoever they are, the foreign secretary would probably be told to stay out of it at the moment, it's an american affair. i think it probably is at this juncture. it was america that launched the missile strike, not great britain. it is donald trump in the position of being the leader of the biggest country and strongest democracy on the planet. ithink country and strongest democracy on the planet. i think it makes sense. again, i don't see working together that it makes you somebody's poodle. i think borisjohnson sees that it makes you somebody's poodle. i think boris johnson sees the importance of what's going on and agree to it. what i do find interesting, the sunday times article, the defence secretary
10:37 pm
fallon talking about a regime change, if i'm reading it right. we've heard that before. normally it's our government that talks about regime change. they've backed off of that, haven't they? the mail on sunday has a lot on the inside about all of this, various things, talking about ivanka trump,... she's the one that treated saying it made me cry, because of the children involved. and as i mentioned, we have the whole of what donald trump hazard. this is a president who lives on social media, isn't it, really? we have all these other things. in the past, when 0bama talked about chemical attacks but backed off from attacking anything in syria, the president musket congressional approval before attacking syria. big
10:38 pm
mistake if he doesn't. that didn't happen. i was talking to richard kemp, in washington on the way down, neither of us experts on this, but i think he would have it being of the national interest, the use of chemical weapon, he'd have the authority, be it 0bama or donald trump. in fact, i would authority, be it 0bama or donald trump. in fact, iwould maybe suggest, and not an expert on this, maybe because president 0bama set the red line, president wright could almost use the authority of that. say that was the red line. there is one other thing, a little box here. when we are looking at the mail on sunday, about somebody working for jeremy corbyn. that will annoy some people if it's right. stupid is as stupid does. there's always a man in the crowd that has to come up with some statement and put their foot in them up. this is murray, a political
10:39 pm
adviser to the shadow cabinet who basically said we are baby killers. i guess we're just as bad as assad. basic moral relativism. it's unfortunate when a missile strike kills civilians that weren't intended, but that's a big difference between those, going out using chemical weapons to kill innocents on purpose and indiscriminately. 0k, innocents on purpose and indiscriminately. ok, let's go on. i think we can look at stockholm on what's going on there. that is another thing. the sunday times. i'm hunting around for it. the telegraph i think. the bomb on the hijacks lorry failed to go a terrible situation, echoes of what happened at westminster bridge. a lorry that ploughed into a stockholm department store and killed four people was carrying a device that failed to
10:40 pm
detonate. the terrorists responsible had actually been on their radar, the police said. this is a migrant brie labourer. a bit scary, even with the westminster story the words, the perpetrator was known to the police. i words, the perpetrator was known to the police. lam not words, the perpetrator was known to the police. i am not holding the police necessarily to account, but it makes you wonder. a little bit scary, there are many creative ways to kill people. in the past i've had people going on about, we don't want america with all the guns another thing. it's not the guns, anything as simple as a knife, a vehicle... and a bomb. you come back to the statistics about the fact you are more likely in america to be killed bya more likely in america to be killed by a child with a gun than to be killed in a terrorist attack. i suppose that's a side issue, isn't it? they've discovered already that
10:41 pm
vehicles are extraordinarily effective. and of course you don't have to, you don't need a bomb. 0bviously that would have caused even more, terrible devastation. indeed. we have the news tonight the police in oslo appear to have found a new device of some sort cordoning the city. now to a domestic story on the front page of the sunday telegraph. scrapheap beckons for council tip charges. i think penny, you said to me, ifeel charges. i think penny, you said to me, i feel strongly about this, do you, what's it about? i do. i'll tell you what i get really annoyed about, fly—tipping. it destroys so much. there are certain areas, beauty spots, which are just covered in rubbish, because somebody... you pay somebody to take away your rubbish and because of the fact you have to pay to have it disposed of, they going tip it any old where. as we know, b gets later, and i know
10:42 pm
that because i've done little experiments near where i lived. and if you leave a bit of rubbish where it is... by the time... if you leave it, by the time you walk back from the shops, it's got new friends with it. it sounds like the broken window syndrome. it is. i will tell you what i've noticed since owning a dog in the last year, the amount of burger wrappers what scares me chicken bones. if the dog gets close, can kill them. chicken bones. if the dog gets close, can killthem. human detritus, eder wannabe any more descriptive map. —— i don't want to be any more descriptive than that. i watched undercover costs the other day, in utah, where i used to live, very nice neighbourhood. this wide, clean, you could eat off these streets. i'm thinking, north finchley are supposed to be a somewhat salubrious area, and it was
10:43 pm
at one point. even in nicer areas, stjohn's wood, i've at one point. even in nicer areas, st john's wood, i've walked around areas and there are burger wrappers. this is about saying... they are saying charging at all for taking your rubbish to the council tip is a bad idea. exactly. and eventually it ends up with stuff... they should be paying us. go and do some up cycling. it's a way of local authorities raising money. if they can't raise it this way, they will find another way. there is an interesting supply and demand argument. i went to the tip on thursday to drop off some cardboard. there was about half an hour queue in business hours. if it's a product everybody wants... i say, charge them, there is a market. there's money in garbage! pictures on a lot of the front pages, two very happy
10:44 pm
ladies. who wants to explain why they are happy? charlie?” ladies. who wants to explain why they are happy? charlie? i love this story, don't we? what is it about? you've been having it on your sports news. this is about the two owners of the grand national winner, which is one for arthur. they bought this horse because their husbands play golf together and they are always off on the golf course. two golf widows, debutants, and they said, it's just been brilliant. widows, debutants, and they said, it'sjust been brilliant. 0ur husbands play golf together, we wa nted husbands play golf together, we wanted to do something, the plan was conceived after a lot of gin at kelso one—day stop and that's what i love about jump racing. kelso one—day stop and that's what i love aboutjump racing. this is not the only story of this type. as someone that sees an old nag in the field... i don't think it's an old nag! they see a horse in a field a thing, we could train that up. the national, of course, i missed it
10:45 pm
today believe it or not and i didn't have a chance but the money down. it's the one race where form doesn't matter. it's not how good... nicholas owen could be the horse in front of us, we could be the star horses, you fall at the fence and ta ke horses, you fall at the fence and take us down with you, the two winners. nicolas, were you in the grand national again? what's going on! we won't discuss how mrs owen handed £10 to a bookmaker this afternoon never to be seen again... you didn't back the 111—1? afternoon never to be seen again... you didn't back the 14-1? that is it for the papers this hour. thank you panny and charlie, you'll both be back at 11.30 for another look at the stories making the news tomorrow. coming up next — the film review.
